Signature campaign should not consider as a your main earning source. We don't know when a campaign would stop or run and only very limited peoples involved with signature campaign especially btc campaign. I believe most of forum users are not aware about blogging like me. I am not familiar with it and just first time heard its possible earning btc by writing blogs. I know only there is few campaign for blogs but it won't a huge amount like you mentioned on OP.  I think most of forum users connected with gambling & trading although both are high risky but quite easy.

My gut feeling to how people would earn money from blogging is that they first grow their audience and then sign up with an ad network like AdSense, which would require that the website in question has somewhere around 5000 interested unique viewers per month. And to get that much viewership, you need to actually be knowledgeable in some profession or skill, not some ordinary person churning out things that you would see in social media posts.

AdSense pays to a bank account in dollars. There are BTC ad networks in the wild but I suspect professional bloggers would make less money using them because of the shady nature of the ads being ran there. MellowAds alone is largely just gambling/investing ads so if your viewers are not interested in gambling or investing then you don't have much of a choice for ad networks. The reason being is that hardly any normal service advertises itself on BTC ad networks due to uninterested viewers so this becomes a chicken-and-egg problem. A professional blogger with nothing to do with investing would never use a BTC ad network if the only ads his viewers would see (who in turn are not investors) are investment ads.

Trading is definitely not an easy thing to do but unfortunately it's being hyped everywhere as a quick way to earn big profits. When most newbies see claims like that they don't have ears for anything else and they try to guess when the daily highs and lows will be which ends up wrecking their balance. I believe part of the responsibility for loss of money like this lies with the people who promote such a method.

To become a proper trader or stock broker as opposed to some script-kiddy wannabe trader, you need to have a business administration, economics or financial university degree, complete an internship, find a sponsor so you can take a licensing exam and pass the licensing exam. How many "cryptocurrency traders" can complete all of that?

Signature campaign is indeed a simple and easy way to get bitcoin, although now the signature signature campaign is sometimes not in line with expectations, different from 2017 to early 2018. When there is a signature campaign vacancy, why don't we try it, like the signature campaign I used, it pays well.

Lending/Saving could be a less risky way of earning bitcoins. There are many secured saving accounts like Celsius where you earn bitcoin for storing. Other exchanges like Bittrex and Binance also provides some interest on bitcoin.
P2P lending with collateral would also have a maximum chance of getting back your bitcoin with profit otherwise, you can liquidate the collateral which sometimes would yield more bitcoins than what you owe.

Well signature campaign does pay a low amount, but that depends on the country you're in for example like me who is in a third world country. $60 is equivalent to 2000 here, so living in a third world is actually beneficial and the reason people dont do blogging is because it takes a lot of effort and time.

We cannot put all signatures campaign in the same basket, and it is especially silly to mention some that are not in this forum. Good members on this forum can find good sig campaigns that pay a lot more then $2 per day and even $60 per month is more than average salary for the whole month in some countries. To have a successful blog is not something anyone can do, rare are those who manage to combine quality, knowledge and technical skills to profit from it.

I see you posted your blog experience, so don't be surprised that most people always choose the easy way, which is a normal occurrence.

It's sad to say that even the higher risk with high profitability is not an option for those who do not have money to invest in to, so they would rather do the low risk ones like signature campaign. I guess this is not new and I am one of those people who strive to earn as much as possible without breaking the rules. I could safely say though that we have tried the higher risk but failed and just manage to do the safest method to earn Bitcoin up to this moment.

I admit I devote my time to signature campaigns. Its true to earn a little from it. However, I guess I'm still keep doing it since I have limited time as well. The chart really opens up my mind of the other activities to earn. It just need more time to make things done. And on my part now that I'm also doing my usual job, its really quite impossible to maintain or do the tasks in other activities. Sig campaign for me is a suitable bitcoin earning activity with low risk.

The moment you put HYIPs and Gambling on the same risk factor as Lending and Mining is the moment you lose all credibility.

Reading further in the article I'm stumbling across things like this:


That's not low income, it's a loss!!!!

Going down to mining, I find another gem!


Oh dear, I never thought that bitcoin mining requires HIGH electricity costs!

13. Claiming Bitcoin forks and airdrops
Risk high!

Yeah, I'm surprised too not everyone has a blog, this way we could all earn...Oh, there is a catch of course!
Otherwise, we would have 5000 NBA leagues and we would be all playing and we would be all earning millions and we could all be both owners, coaches and the entire team.
